"Of course opera will always enthrall me," said she, in a recent interview, "because I was literally raised on a diet of grand opera. My father was stage manager at Covent Garden, and he used to take me to the theater to listen when I was only two years old. Even then, young as I was, I used to sit quietly, and seemed to absorb everything I heard. Later, when we came to America and he was connected with the Metropolitan Opera company, I was old enough to grasp all of the salient features of the rehearsals and performances, and learned something from every artist I heard. Father used to say that it was as essential to know all of the roles of an opera, even those of the male characters, as it was to know your own. That was at the time my father discovered that I really had a voice, and had dedicated it to grand opera. "Believing in a thorough musical ed- ucation, however, I was taught to play the harp and piano, so that it was a great help when I began to sing. I knew all of the operas so well, that, if it was necessary, I could have pro- duced and stage-managed any of those in which I sing.

When I am singing, I like to single out some par- ticular person in the audience, prefer- ably a very young one, because their enthusiasm and emotions are mirrored on their faces; then I sing to that one. If they are pleased then I am content. If the public could only know what it means to an artist, to show a little of their pleasure, I think they would be more demonstrative." Herman DeVries, well-known critic of the Chicago American, wrote the day following that in which he had heard her sing Andrea Chenier for the second time: "The performance was a spectacular triumph for grand opera. This faithful reviewer was fairly en- thralled by the compelling, remarkable talent of this superb woman. Seeing Muzio again as Madeliene was a new and extraordinary sensation. She sang it superbly, and acted. it magnificently, with the stage technic, the unfailing flair for effect of the grand trage- dienne, the contagious passion and poetry, that made the whole Audi- torium her slave. Her curtain calls were acclaim for one of the queens of the operatic stage."
